Fixture between Kochi University and Shizuoka Sangyo University is shaping up to be one of those games where recent results flies out the window. Underway
Kochi University’s been all over the shop, their displays fluctuating from classy to questionable. Meanwhile, Shizuoka Sangyo University’s grinding through a slump, their rearguard looking unstable.
Looking at past contests, it’s a mixed bag. Kochi University’s taken the upper hand lately, but soccer’s got a short memory.
For what it’s worth: Each sides’ve got issues. Kochi University’s midfield’s stuttering, while Shizuoka Sangyo University’s attack lacks a cutting edge.
When it comes to the All Universities Rookie Tournament, this game carries extra weight. The league’s battle for continental qualification means every outcome matters, and both sides know a strong showing here could alter trajectories in the standings. Current performances in the All Universities Rookie Tournament suggests neither outfit can afford lapses, making this tie even more compelling.
Still, there’s a vibe about this one—perhaps, it’s the fixture where a player delivers.
